Amazon.com Editorial Review:

 

In this twisty thriller about Britain's secret code breakers during World War II, Tom Jericho (Dougray Scott, best known as the villain of Mission Impossible 2) devised the means to break the Nazi Enigma code, but a relationship gone awry sent the erratic genius into a breakdown. Now the Nazis have switched their codes, just as huge convoys of ships with crucial supplies are crossing the Atlantic--and squads of U-boats are hunting for them. With the help of his former lover's roommate (the ever-adorable Kate Winslet) and under the watchful eye of a suspicious intelligence officer (Jeremy Northam), Jericho struggles to figure out if there's a spy among the code breakers as they fight to crack the new Nazi ciphers. The plot gets extremely tricky but the excellent cast keeps you engaged. Written by the extremely tricky playwright-screenwriter Tom Stoppard (who cowrote Shakespeare in Love and Brazil). --Bret Fetzer

 

A bit of trivia: Mick Jagger was one of the producers of this cerebral thriller.

I love the Thai movie "Beautiful Boxer", which was about a muay thai boxer who wanted to undergo a sex change operation. The film L'Armee des ombres or "Army of Shadows" was about the French resistance during World War II. Pedro Almodóvar's Todo sobre mi madre or "All About My Mother" is a very interesting film about AIDS, gender and sexual identity.

 

I like Chinese films like "Hero" and "Not One Less" (although these two were a commercially released pala). There are interesting Hollywood-made films which were shown in local theaters for a limited time like "The Constant Gardener" and "Darjeeling Limited". Another period romance movie that I love so much is "The Painted Veil".

Let The Right One In

Tomas Alfredson Cinetic Media / Christina Bazdekis

 

Oskar, a fragile 12-year-old boy, is regularly bullied by his stronger classmates but never strikes back. The lonely boy’s wish for a friend seems to come true when he meets Eli, also 12, who moves in next door to him with her father. A pale, serious young girl, she only comes out at night and doesn’t seem affected by the freezing temperatures.
